Well, after an interesting and frustrating day, I failed the first attempted at the IVA, but surprising, not on the items I was concern about. If was a real shame, that on the day, the car decided to overheat, thus suspending the following tests: 02B - Metered Emissions 05 - Steering Effort 08 - In-Direct Vision (although I snapped off the interior mirror in transit - Woops) 25 - Headlamps Luckily, the inspector advised that he had no concerns over these items and would look at them on the re-test. However on a positive The only real items I failed on are: Side repeaters not on rear arches - kind of new this but took a chance! Exterior projections on exhaust mount - radius to be filed onto exhaust can mount Protective steering - minor alteration required (although modified during the test and passed) Front Flexi brake hoses to be clipped to upper wishbone Master cylinder copper brake pipe kinked / flattened to front wheel Fuel tank not full of fuel preventing the calculations to be completed on the brake tests due to not having the correct weight (However he said the brakes over performed and had not seen such good results!) There where generally a few bits he was not keen on, but passed with advice on the rules Remove Tax disc holder LSD Diff made knocking noise on brake testing- he said I may need to consider changing for standard type but this was only advise
